A name change at Wikisphere

Wikisphere, whose $5.25 million venture capital round I wrote about in this story last month, has changed its name to Wet Paint.

I found out about the name change after a colleague passed on this job description from Craigslist, which provides a little more detail about the stealthy online content service.

Wet Paint plans to have multiple test sites up by the end of the year, said spokesman Jason Reindorp, who joined the startup from Expedia a few weeks ago. Reindorp said the company is partnering with people who want to create wikis related to specific subject areas. Wikis are interactive Web sites that change based on user input.

The 9-person company — founded by former Blue Nile executive Ben Elowitz earlier this year — plans to move its headquarters from lower Queen Anne to Belltown in the coming weeks, said Reindorp. Wet Paint is backed by Frazier Technology Ventures and Trinity Ventures.
